1991 Specialized Hardrock 18" womens turquoise/red

Classic do-it-all mountain bike, best for 5’5”-5’11” riders. Lightweight (28lbs) and indestructible CroMoly steel frame, 21-speed Shimano Biopace drivetrain (not rounded chainrings), beautiful turquoise frame, new 26×2.0” urban city street tires that you can ride off-road as well. 

I have the two other 1991 Hardrocks: large 20″-framed version and extra small 14.5″-framed child version.

This is Megan’s bike now.
